how annoying is spam..

"A US man who sent 850 million junk emails through accounts he opened with stolen identities has been sentenced to up to seven years in prison.

Internet service provider Earthlink said it hoped the sentence and an earlier $US16.4 million ($22.9 million) civil judgment against Howard Carmack will deter other spammers."

good to see, hopefully it will deter people from doing it ..

7 years could be a bit too hefty tho ... what do you think?
